Have our kidlets paint or decorate their clothespins as they will. Set atop your paper tube to dry.

Grab a doily and fold in half. This is just to mark the center of the doily so the butterfly has "even" wings.

Lace doily through the gap in the clothespin and gently bunch up the remaining bit of doily to create the wings. It may be easier to turn the clothespin upside down and then jam the paper in.

Cut your pipe cleaner into 2" pieces and fold in half. Use a glue gun or other sticky-tacky glue to affix pipe cleaner antennae to top of clothespin. You may instead, wrap one whole pipe cleaner around the neck of the butterfly before angling it to form the antennae.

Affix a valentine note or write a message directly onto the clothespin and use as valentines. You could also create a mobile or holiday wreath it's all up to you, Happy Valentine's Day!
